Question details
I received my 3-year extension post 6 years based on approved I-140 (sponsored by employer A). I am in the 7th year of H1B and have a valid visa until 2019. I have an offer from employer B. I am told by employer B that they are going to do H1B portability and extension using my approved I-140 from my previous employer. Since the premium processing of H1B is going to be suspended starting April 3rd, my new employer B wants me to join them based on the receipt notice of the H1B transfer. I am also told that the risk I have in case of denial is I would have to leave the US and re-apply for an H1B petition from my home country. From my understanding, one can always go back to their previous employer in case of rejection of H1 transfer?

It was a pleasure working with Rajiv's office on an H1 application for our employee. Though there was a considerable amount of paperwork required as a result of the increased diligence from DHS lately, we got good instructions with clear guidelines on what was needed at each step. Anna and Fran answered our questions very promptly and capably. They were also very careful to consult Rajiv on any legal opinions. I know Rajiv handles a lot of cases, but with the processes he has in place and attention his staff gave to this case, we might as well have been his only client. Thanks Rajiv, Anna and Fran.
